Reputation Economy Conference at Yale, Dec 8

If you follow the reputation space in any way, this is going to be an excellent event.

The Information Society Project at Yale Law School is proud to present Reputation Economies in Cyberspace. The symposium will be held on December 8, 2007 at Yale Law School in New Haven, CT.

This event will bring together representatives from industry, government, and academia to explore themes in online reputation, community-mediated information production, and their implications for democracy and innovation. The symposium is made possible by the generous support of the Microsoft Corporation.

I hope they record the event as I won’t be able to attend.
